Is Albert Pujols finished?

[Digital Dre]

We had him at his best in STL but that contract is crazy

that man tho first ballot but he was too old for that contract

 

[SoulController]

they pay him to produce all year, not in useless spurts every few weeks. dude is a good 2 notches below what he once was

 

[mvp_status]

his (real) age caught up to him

 

[FreshAIG]

You mean just like last year, when he started off slow and still ended up with 30 homers, 105 RBIs and a .285 average? Are we really just gon' keep making this thread every year in May when we know the baseball season is about 3,000 games long?

Are y'all even trying anymore?

That's acceptable for a first baseman making 28 million a year? Those numbers aren't impressive

 

[dallastexas]

Pujols and Angels struggling. While the A's will continue to run he AL West for the immediate future.

5.5 games back ur running the al west huh?

 

[jfkennedy]

Should've stayed here, even with a decline he'd still have been treated like a gawd.

Oh well.

Made room for Allen Craig to shine.

 

[MikelArteta]

Did he not put up damn good numbers after a slow start last season?

For 28 mill year I'm expecting Miguel Cabrera type production

what a horrible contract
hes not walkng like he used to, obp in the low 300s, dude is basically david segui status at the moment

 

[MustafaSTL]

After all of these years, I ask my brethren of The Coli to allow me to make the official Pujols Larry Holmes thread. I don't want to make it too early and then see this nikka hit .320 to finish the season, but when I make it, it will definitely be official.


coming soon...

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

Dude is 43 years old

 

[HookersandIceCream]

own a baseball team brehs

The last person taking a loss in all this is the Angels owner

 

[infamous003]

you'd be "satisfied" with that if you paid somebody $240 million?!?!?!

In the first year of the contract, yeah. Hell, if he repeats those numbers again, I would be. Do you know how hard it is to find a consistent 30+/100-RBI/over .280 guy? And if he betters those numbers, I'm over the moon. Y'all want 50 homers and 200 RBIs and shyt. Be realistic.

 

[BallGame]

Career averages 325/40/120

 

[L. Deezy]

Dude has been since joining the Angels.

Batting .240 with 7 Hr's and 25 RBI this year.

8 years left on that contract..

just fukking amazing everytime I think about that.

Contracts like that should not be given out. I think Pujols and Rodriguez have ruined it for the next dudes

its not that he's just fukking terrible if he does pretty good. Its just the numbers NOW will never justify that money..

Look at the Cardinals.. they knew
